Khalen Saunders wouldn’t shut up about the NFL

The The New York Jets had a rough day against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and it didn’t get any better when defensive tackle Cullen Saunders was ejected. Saunders was in a crowd of Jaguars players, and the referee tried to separate them. Unfortunately, it appears that Saunders may have pushed the referee, and he threw the flag.

Sounder eventually had to leave the game to make contact with the referee, according to ESPN’s Rich Cimini.

A few hours after the game, Saunders shared his thoughts on the ejection, and he wasn’t a fan of the call.

“7 years, no ejections, no unsportsmanlike conduct, I think maybe one unnecessary roughness for a whistle attack in a preseason game.. Surrounded by opponents, bouncing people off me, and here I am ‘hitting the official’ lmao gtfo. Do better,” Saunders tweeted.

It wasn’t just a tough day for Saunders, but for the entire defense in general. After the game, several of the defensemen declined interviews in the locker room. Quincy Williams was one of the players, saying, “I don’t have anything positive to say today, so I’m not working with the media,” according to Zach Rosenblatt of the Athletics.

It’s hard to know if the Jets were mad at the officiating or how they played on that side of the ball. The defense hasn’t been great, and they have zero interceptions in Week 15.

That’s probably what prompted head coach Aaron Glenn fire defense coordinator Steve Wilkes. With this late in the season, it wouldn’t be a surprise if Glenn just takes over the point guard on defense, and when the season is over, he can find another coordinator he thinks will work well with him.

The Jets are a few weeks away from their first interception.
